Tereshkova is a piece of shit imperialist and Putinist (there’s a reason she’s sanctioned by the EU and US) who was sent to space to further the Soviet political agenda and not due to actually being good at anything. Her only merit was being shot into space on command, she was never exceptionally good at anything
She doesn’t have to be good, it showed that women can go into space and was yet another benchmark the Soviets achieved first. I’m not saying who or how they did it was particularly heroic, just that it was humanity’s first steps into the stars.
